Min ko vill ha roligt

Min ko vill ha roligt (English: My cow wants to have fun) is a book written by Astrid Lindgren and Kristina Forslund.

It contains all articles concerning animal protection and mass production that Lindgren and Forslund wrote in the Swedish magazines Expressen and Dagens Nyheter from 1985 to 1989.

Astrid Lindgren then receives a letter from Kristina Forslund, a veterinarian and lecturer at the University of Veterinary Medicine.

The book contains both articles that Astrid Lindgren and Kristina Forslund wrote for newspapers, as well as personal letters in which the authors criticize the treatment of animals in factory farming.

[9] The book has not been released in English as a whole, but some parts of it were published in 1989 by the Animal Welfare Institute in the book How Astrid Lindgren achieved enactment of the 1988 law protecting farm animals in Sweden - a selection of articles and letters published in Expressen, Stockholm, 1985-1989.

[13] According to Brigitte Jakobeit from Die Zeit, Min ko vill ha roligt is a book about the history of animal husbandry and where it led to.

Lindgren does not make any naive arguments, protecting the Swedish farmers who have reluctantly followed the new boom in factory farming.

Astrid Lindgren reports very drastically on industrial pig slaughter, but sometimes she also chooses satirical formats.

[15] Istdasvegan.eu highly recommends the book because it deals with the topic in a child-friendly way, but it doesn't glorify or gloss over anything.
